Similar transcription funny...from the Dallas Vocal Majority's "Have a
little time to talk with myself"...the guy who did it got "let myself be
chico, like a man"...the actual lyric..."let my selfish ego take command"!!
He introduced a new word into the vocabulary of British barbershop singers
20 odd years ago..."you're sooo chico!..." hee!
